Nice to meet you all,

My name is Ms. Steels or Coach Steels. This will be my second year at Elkins High School and my fourth year as a classroom English teacher and coach. I will be the assistant coach for girls volleyball and track & field. I have accomplished and received my Master's degree in Sport Administration and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Northwestern State University. During my time there, I participated as a student - athlete in track & field. I went on to collect many awards and accomplishments in the sport by traveling across the country, receiving recognition by the state, holding a collegiate D1 record, and having competed in the Olympic trials. With this being said, I hold myself to very high expectations as these expectations will be transferred to your scholars and their work ethic, participation, and their personal goals in my classroom.

My goals for the classroom are to provide an engaging environment to prepare young scholars for the road ahead of them, either it is college, the workforce, or the military. The classroom is the basis of where learning takes place and my goals are to utilize your scholars to obtain confidence in their abilities, create a positive atmosphere where anything is possible, and create resilience when it comes to learning hard things. I believe in all of my scholars and I appreciate all your parents for allowing your scholars to accomplish greatness at Elkins Hill High School. 

On my webpage, you will find my point of contact and updated information for the school year. I am excited to build a relationship and support all of my scholars. Thank you.
